These two bugs are shown for FreeBSD only and I guess, Solaris and other BSDs still use UFS. Are they more robust against this exploit or type of exploit?


I don't know of a concerted effort by anyone to improve UFS in this

no large scale work.

Another thing to keep in mind is that filesystem mounting is only available to the super-user. If a feature came along such as automatically mounting USB drives, these bugs would indeed be critical.
But for now, they are not.
